The Chet Clayton Rose Garden at the University of Rhode Island's Kingston Campus is in full bloom.

Named after Chester Clayton, a URI Master Gardener who donated the money for the rose garden, the site is open to the public daily free of charge. The garden is in the center of the URI Botanical garden located off Upper College Road. Visitors should stop in the Visitors Center just inside the gates on Upper College Road for a parking pass. This rose garden features sustainable roses that need little or no pesticides.
